Local Power Proposes 76% Renewable to Marin at PG&E Rates

We finally did it. The Marin Energy Authority said Marin County residents and businesses want at least 51% green power in the community-wide power mix, but at the same rates the incumbent (fossil gas, nuclear, large hydro 12% renewable PG&E) charges.

It's a buyers' market. For what will eventually become a game-changing event -  Check out Local Power Works LLC press release here.
